Implementing a Tibetan keyboard

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have the beginnings of a language pack for supporting Tibetan character input 
via AnySoftKeyboard. This requires adding a new font to the system via root, 
but it is still useful to many Tibetan geek users.

I am most of the way there, but am unsure how to specify the keys for SHIFT 
mode in the tibetan_qwerty.xml document. I have looked through many other 
language packs, but this aspect is still unclear to me. Any help would be 
appreciated.

droid/

I have the project currently hosted here:

First, good job.

Second, AnySoftKeyboard rely on Android's "Character.toUpper" function to do 
the upper/lower case stuff. The code assumes that the layout XML is all lower 
case letters, and once the user presses the SHIFT button, the layout is 
re-painted with upper cases.
Does Android fail in doing this for Tibetan characters?

Yes, but we are actually building our own specific keyboard from scratch now. 
Thanks anyhow!
